New Race Ideas

[Trandoshan]

I recently took a poll that asked me what kind of mods I wanted to see, and my reply was 'Races'

 

Not another Retex of the Imperials, Tsaesci race, or Dwarf

 

Not another Elf, nor Suthay-Cathay-whateveray raht.

 

I need some original concepts. Some interesting beast-races that would be catchy. I'm certain that someone on this forum has an idea for an original race that I or someone else can work on.

 

In other words I am requesting modders to give me and other authors ideas for races to work on. Please post an idea or concept sketch of a race that would appeal to you, and if you have experience in modding, please see if any of the concepts you see are worthy of your time.

 

A few rules apply to me personally

 

1) No characters from movies or other games, I can't possibly accomplish the level of detail that some games out there express.

2) No pokemans. See rule #1

3) Any Wildlife is A - OK. I have already made a Cobra-esque mod that I plan on finalizing(Beta) and releasing, and have drawn up plans for a deer-race.

4) Races that require special effects like pluggy are beyond me at the moment. Keep it simple!

5) If it has been done already, I will not attempt to one-up another author. For Instance, there are several Na'vi race mods...

 

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions and/or help/modding

An savage very muscular but dumb race would be cool :D

With an bonus to blunt for his club :P

A bit hairy and some beards with it would be nice to ^^

I read rule #1 but I don't think that the Tauren or Death knight race are in very much of detail so much in WoW next to Oblivion. If you can make either of these races I don't think the amount of detail would matter just as long as you can actually make it. :)

Be serious now... :confused:

All I would need to do to make that would be to scale an Orc to twice it's size, and give it a long hair style. Unless you mean something Minotaur-like, or something of that nature.

 

Think something you wouldn't see on TES everyday...

Death Knight race? Start at level 50, have albino-pale skin and blue shiny eyes?

I don't know much about Warcraft, but I haven't seen any mods like that.

 

If so, I wouldn't mind seeing that. If your not aiming for accuracy......

 

Edit:

Oh I would just love to do a deathknight! If it weren't already done...

mudcrab race? (use your imagination)

Maybe a Trabdoshan, 'cause they kinda rock.

Such as the Tsaesci race that this mod is working on?

Mud Crab... fun for about five seconds heh. If I did anything like that, it would HAVE to use pluggy to replace hand w/ claws. It would have to be a must! I like some of the ideas so far. Some Serious Brainstorming would be awesome though. :thumbsup:

You're the man :thumbsup: .

 

That's one of the reason I picked TES3 up so well. Course', I personally think they are ugly beyond belief. I chose this name due to my time playing as one on Star Wars Galaxies.

not playing as a mudcrab, but a mudcrab humanoid race
